Easiest is [man]glob[/man] however you really should search for this as this is something asked quite a lot.

Here is a function I use in some of my apps you can list files in just one folder or recursively to look through all your folders...
Your must set the $directory = '/path/to/public_html/'; to your root path.

<?php
	function app_load_files($directory='',$recursive='0')
	{
		if($directory == '')
		{
			// Find right directory
			$directory = '/path/to/public_html/';
		}

	// create a handler for the directory
	$handler = opendir($directory);

	// keep going until all files in directory have been read
	while ($file = readdir($handler))
	{
		// if $file isn't this directory or its parent, 
		if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
		{
			if(is_file($directory . $file))
			{
				// Here we include each file in the library so that the
				// functions in each file are available for use
				echo $directory . $file . '<br />';
			}
			elseif(is_dir($directory . $file) && $recursive == '1')
			{
                                    echo '<hr />';
				app_load_files($directory . $file . '/');
			}
		}
	}

	// tidy up: close the handler
	closedir($handler);
}
app_load_files();
?>

Sample usage(s):
To show all the files only in your home directory
app_load_files();

To show all the files your home directory and continue through any sub-folders
app_load_files('','1');

To show all the files only in the directory of your choice
app_load_files('images');

To show all the files the directory of your choice and continue through any sub-folders
app_load_files('images','1');

@:

  app_load_files($directory . $file . '/'); 

When you re-call the function on folders, and we want recursive, you might add the second parameter to that function.
